On the plus side, though, because the Sox won in 4 games, they get a little more rest, and can reset the roster. The As/Tigers game still has to play, and they're burning through their best starters right now trying to survive. With luck, winner of that will roll into Fenway on Saturday a little worn down and having to throw their #3 starter in game 1.

Definitely gotta play the games and whatnot, but as far as how it's setting up, you have to like it as a Red Sox fan...
